Hard Revolution
George Pelecanos · Little, Brown · 2004
US Little, Brown is the true first — a Derek Strange origin/prequel novel set largely in 1960s Washington, D.C. (framed 1959 to 1968). A separate signed/limited edition (issued via Dennis McMillan) of 404 copies is distinct from the trade first: 104 copies in quarter-morocco calfskin and 300 in red Brillianta cloth in a custom slipcase, signed and numbered, some accompanied by a CD soundtrack. These are a separate collectible state, not the trade first printing.
